Magnetism & Electricity Family Science Night

Resources:

Family Science Night kit (GK-12 storage room)
Flashlight Kit (GK-12 storage room)
Ring flinger (GK-12 storage room)
Lenz's law demo (GK-12 storage room)
Van de Graff generator (physics demo room)
TV and VCR, tapes from Lane ESD about electricity and/or magnetism

Tips & Hints:
  • Needed quite a few volunteers to set-up and many hours as well.
  • Need to get building use forms filled out.
  • Many people were late and missed the demos.
  • Some of the kids figured out how to use the ring flinger while unsupervised. Need to find a place that is hidden to put the demos in after you are finished using them so that students are not tempted to try.
  • Depending on the size of the event you may want to add materials to the kit.
  • Put all materials for a given station on one ziploc bag with a list in order to best use any helpers that come to set up or clean up.
  • Get volunteers for clean up or plan to take a long while.
